Taskmaster fans want underdog comedian to win despite ‘never

It’s that time again! The Taskmaster throne is back in play, and the chaos has officially returned to our screens. If you’ve been keeping up with the latest in our favorite TV Shows, you know that the 22nd series of Taskmaster has kicked off with the kind of glorious, nonsensical disaster we’ve come to love.

But while we’ve got big names like Richard Ayoade and Matt Lucas in the mix, there’s a total curveball happening online. Taskmaster fans want a specific underdog to take home Greg Davies’ golden head, even though a huge chunk of the audience admits they hadn’t heard of her until this week. Here is what you need to know about the new series and why the internet is already obsessing over this season’s breakout star.

1. Taskmaster Fans Want: Overview & Breaking News

The 22nd series of Taskmaster launched this week, and it’s safe to say it’s already pure comedy gold. We have five new victims—oops, I mean contestants—trying to decipher the cryptic and often impossible tasks set by the taskmaster’s assistant, Alex Horne.

The buzz around the watercooler (and on X, formerly Twitter) is that comedian Chloe Petts has become an instant fan favorite. In a classic JattFlix-style twist, the person with the “least household name” status is currently steamrolling the competition in terms of viewer affection. It’s early days, but the hype train for Chloe is moving fast.

2. Plot Summary & Storyline Breakdown

If you’ve never seen Taskmaster, the premise is simple: Five comedians compete in a series of bizarre, lateral-thinking tasks. They might have to paint a portrait of a horse while riding a bike, or hide a pineapple on their person in the most creative way possible.

Everything is judged by Greg Davies, who is notoriously grumpy, biased, and prone to throwing points away for no reason. The “story” of this series is essentially the clash of personalities: Richard Ayoade’s signature cynicism, Isy Suttie’s hilarious misunderstandings (coffee pods as golden plates, anyone?), and Nina Conti’s delightfully chaotic energy. It’s high-stakes silliness at its finest.
